Can anyone help?My 70 has a floor shift auto and after checking the "search" I'm kinda confused, is there (or should there be a) bearing at the bottom holding the steering shaft where it comes out of the column tube or not? If so is it a "3" screw or "2" screw?( I've got the bushing and clip for the lockout tube but I'm gonna redo the coupler and want to replace that bearing if one should be there) THANKS! Neal
